Anyone Running Their Car Without A Coolant Overflow Tank?

[FoxMustangLvr]

Space is super tight with new radiator and battery tray being in the way with new dual contour fans installed. I believe @GroverDill has no overflow, I'm curious what keeps air out of the engine? I have a new aftermarket bottle but it will be a real PITA to get it to fit.

I have one now


I ran it without one for years just ran a long hose right towards the ground. Never had any problems with air being introduced to the cooling system

I did the same as Grover for several years. Now I have one mounted under the drivers fender.

I think I just pee'd myself a little looking at your engine bay, very nice man.

Upr makes a nice one that I'll be buying or take the one I have now cut it and shorten it and re weld it to fit but I'm gonna relocate it to inside the fender

I picked up a generic return style can from eBay. Less than 20 dollars. I wanted an oe fox bottle but for some reason they have gotten ridiculously priced.

@GroverDill do you have a bird's-eye-view of your engine bay so we can see how close that overflow tank is to your ps pulley? I was thinking about getting that tank instead of using the Summit universal one that I have but I don't have much room with that big Mark VII fan I have.

Anyone have pics of how you installed the rank in the fender? I'm planning on doing the same thing.

Use PVC pipe and make it any size you want...

 

[GroverDill]

Best shots I have currently.. It is not close at all and that is a Mark fan as well.
